Perhaps, but don't expect to achieve eternal life through evolutionism. No matter how much or how little evidence there is for Creationism, it might be a good idea to believe in God, just in case He does exist.

Intellectual integrety, my little slow-witted moosey friend. Things like the distribution of religions on earth point against an all-loving, all-caring and omnipotent god, and the vile creature portraied in the bible as god does not need worship (not even a lip service).
Yes, and It might be a good idea NOT TO DO SUCH NONSENSE IN HIS NAME, or prevent the progress of a science of which, if any, he has supported plenty of evidence, JUST IN CASE HE DOESN´T EXIST.
Learn the basics of evolution(not evolutionism) There is nothing about eternal life. Also when I was a christian, the one thing that actually made me scared of heaven was the the idea of eternal life.
EDIT: Maybe scared wasn't the best word to describe my feelings about heaven, perhaps my belief then and now that the prospect of eternal life just seems boring.
Actually, I remember that the flying spaghetti monster's heaven is just like the christian heaven, but with beer and strippers (and the FSM hell is a million times worse that the hell described in the bible) - so presumably Monkey Mooser is a pastafarian.
Yeah, Blaise Pascal, I remember him, he was the dude got eaten by Shiva the Destroyer in the afterlife. Bookie didn't pay out on the bet, either.
That's right. I'm a Judeao-Islamo-Wiccany-Zoroastrian-Falun Gong-Confucian-Taoist-Buddhist-Pagan-Christian that believes in the Norse, Greek, Celtic, Babylonian, Canaanite Gods and the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
I believe there is only one God, whilst believing there are many, including some I just fabricated right now, because you never know... the Almighty, Invisible, Great Mighty Gouda Cheese the Superior might be real!
KillWhitey: From Hogfather:
"This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, 'Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?' When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, 'We're going to show you what we think of Mr. Clever Dick around these parts...'"
Better believe in Allah, just in case he exists.
You don't like that? So what makes your imaginary man in the sky so special?
The study of evolution has produced numerous benefits in many fields, not the least of which are medicine and agriculture. True, evolution probably will not give a person eternal life. However, applications of the theory of evolution have yielded tangible benefits for prolonging people's lives.
Tangible benefits versus ancient myth...hmm...you lose.
Confused?
